A Little History of the World

von E. H. Gombrich

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The internationally bestselling guide to the extraordinary human story, for the curious of all ages   The world has existed for over 4 billion years, but humanity arrived much more recently. Here E. H. Gombrich brings to life the full story of human experience on Earth. He paints a colourful picture of remarkable people and events, from Confucius to Catherine the Great, from the invention of art to the destruction of the Berlin Wall.   This is a book dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of mankind’s experience across the centuries. It is both a guide to humanity’s achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this is a timeless account of our shared history.  Little Histories – Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds
